i just threw in a d16y engine in my 90 4door lx and sorry to say but its an auto... and im just wondering what i should do to get better horse power...( like skidding tires and going up hill on the freeway) it has a k&n drop in filter and a flowmaster muffler.... everything else is prettymuch stock... any advise out there? plus i really wanna burn my homeboy in a 98 mitsubishi galant 2.4 liter plus its an automatic... please help

 

imo, i would have saved my money and swapped a b-series, as 4 doors are heavier and require more power to get moving. the only way you're going to find ample amounts of power with that engine is either a full-motor build up or boost.

 

i WAS gonna go for a b- series but since im in cali and im due for smog i had no other choise

 

if you really want the power that badly, you'd get around smog... you didn't hear that from me (i'm in cali too and i have a jdm b16 in my rex). anywho, i say get a carb-legal greddy kit and slap it on.

 

well im in frisco and ive been told that the smog center around here are pretty strict about engine swaps ... just yesterday i finally got my car and went to get it smoged and they told me it was MODIFIED... just cause some hoses from the valve cover to the air fiter hose arent connected so tommorow im gonna take it back to the shop so they can quote and quote connect em ( since they arent really needed) i heard that starting this year there are gonna be stricter rules for smoging cars and the shops in cali even have new machines where they actually put the car on to test the h.p and etc....

also where can i get a carb-legal greddy kit?

thanks

 

any more info out there?
